Operation Herkules - Italians @ Malta 1942

[Vanvlak]

Very nice - I like the tankette in particular, nice to see the lanciafiamme. These tiny tanks would probably be more useful here than elsewhere, given the narrow roads and generally poor tank country.
I just realised the rubble wall camo is practically the inverse of some Italian aircraft camo schemes. Irrelevant but curious.

Are there mpre tankettese to come?

I have an L6/40 in the wings. Like the lanciafiamme, it was badly cast, so requires some work to look right.

I'm pleased to have finally finished a unit (and two weapons teams) in their entirety in time to share them before Adepticon this week. First is the now complete CCNN Gruppo De Sbarco - the amphibious assault arm of the Blackshirts.



These are my favorite Warlord Italian Airborne minis - the flamethrower and sniper teams.

While they aren't 100%, I'm pleased to be finished with this batch of my Bolt Action Italians for Adepticon. I won't be fielding all of them this weekend, but I feel like this is a solid start to my larger Italian force.

Nicely done and finished with great basing.

AFV reinforcements for my Italians @ Malta, 1942. I'm actually really proud with how these turned out, as they are my first 28mm vehicles since 40K several years ago and my first real-life military model vehicles since my teens. Much more finished pics, info, and WIP pics below:

After Operation Sting this fall, I recognized the need for some additional units - a Medic, an AT Gun, and a medium tank. More pics and info below:

Armor looks great, very interesting concept!

Great stuff throughout but I thought the shrine objective marker was a particularly nice touch.

Well, my Italians are finally complete (for now).





Enjoy, more pics and info at the link below:
